Summer is SUPPOSED to be here but it's been cloudy and misty in LA. No worries! I am going up to Northern California for the weekend to visit my family where it will be mid 80s - perfect for the fourth of July. Doesn't that blueberry cheesecake look amazing?? I'm going to have to make it... maybe this weekend? Living in an apartment, I can bake and cook whatever I want! What is it about getting older and living on your own that's so great? I guess it's particularly nice because my generous parents are still paying rent and tuition. But anyway, it's a great feeling to get to truly do whatever you want without RA's or sorority house moms, or your parents telling you what to do! I was made for adulthood (well obviously...but more so than many people I know). Not to say that it's easy. You start to realize that adults DON'T know everything like you once thought and that you probably know a lot more than many older adults on the planet. And that society isn't perfect (because you were once severly sheltered, which is actually quite nice but also quite the shock when you go to a place like UCLA) and that people can run companies and simultaneously make the earth bleed (Gulf Spill). You really start to realize how scary it is to be THE generation of the moment, expected to heal the earth, and save all people, completely unrealistic and tall requests. So, to distract me from mourning society, I think about summer, photography, high top chucks, cheesecakes, running, the ocean, and Hawaii (among other things). Namaste.
